Calculate the molar mass of oxalic acid (C = 12u, O = 16u, H = 1u)


Open in App
Solution

  1. Molar mass is the sum of the masses of all the individual atoms present in a molecule or compound.
  2. Oxalic acid is an organic acid that is present in leafy vegetables, fruits, and vegetables.
  3. The chemical formula of oxalic acid is (COOH)2
  4. The atomic mass of carbon C is 12u.
  5. The atomic mass of hydrogen H is 1u.
  6. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16u.
  7. Molarmassofoxalicacid(COOH)2=(Atomicmassofcarbon)x2+(AtomicmassofOxygen)x4+(Atomicmassofhydrogen)x2 =(12x2)+(16x4)+(1x2)

=24+64+2

=90g

The molar mass of oxalic acid (COOH)2 is 90g.
